I don't get it. He has a "vision" for how this company should run. He purchased it because it was profitable or because he saw the potential or something

why not leave it as is? seems like he wants to ruin it

what a dick boss he is. Almost like he wants to punish the people he viewed as "bad" or some shit.

I agree. Whatever his “vision” is or was cannot stand up to reality.

I don’t believe he ever wanted to purchase Twitter, I believe he was just looking for attention and wanted to be the savior of “free speech” to all the people, but he fucked up by making a very stupid and overpriced offer, then got caught up in a legal battle he realized he wasn’t going to be able to win, so he had to go through with the deal.

Now he is over his head, wanting to do things that can’t be done, even making false claims about why android users apps were so slow, and firing an employee who corrected him.

I believe he is out of his depth on this.

I suppose that time will tell

But generally - is laying out a manifesto and asking staff to back it a bad thing?

It's funny because it's true
there has been a bit of a run of fake accounts costing companies lots of money.. forgive my lack of names and numbers but. seems to be more social justice oriented than outright sabotage.

some American big pharma firm who has been getting a rough time in the media of late for upping the price of insulin by something like 4 times the going rate.

the tweet looked similar to the Lockheed one in both style and polish. It stated the firm was now supplying insulin free of charge to everyone.
the stock price dropped....a lot.
